While some of the stuff has been interesting, any time writers aren't getting credit for their contributions, I avoid out of principle.

Frankly, I'd be very happy if my editor and copyeditors got credit in my articles as well. It bugs me that the people that are valuable to my work don't get any of the public share of credit.

And I'm someone who writes clean copy without many changes. The Players Tribune editors are ghostwriting mainly.

Re: .100 OBP player, wouldn't there be value if player was THAT fast and was a SB specialist? I mean, if he could be guaranteed to steal 2nd, 3rd, and home, there would have to be value in that, right?

Yeah, but if he was THAT fast, I'd expect him to reach first more often.

Even Randy Johnson occasionally made contact

Sources: #Mariners talking to #RedSox about trade for starting pitcher. Target is Buchholz or Miley, not clear.

Perhaps the Dodgers' plan is "all pitchers break; therefore, we should have a lot of pitchers."

All this Chapman talk has me flustered. Is there really value in a "closer" when a team could essentially produce similar results with a stronger overall (and probably cheaper) bullpen. A closer by committee? Say...3 setup men?

The Dodgers are a wealthy team - they're paying for certainty here.

Ho could Tom Brady, whos an incredible athelete be so slow at 37 years old? Im not in the gym every day, I sit at a desk all day, same age and Im sure I could destroy him in a 30 yrd dash

Some people are just slow.

Even when I was younger and more athletic and played sports, I was never fast.
